Audience response to Lit aDrift

Our dancers were thrilled to perform in front of a packed audience at The Media Factory in Preston. It turns out the audience we’re equally thrilled to be there! The feedback that we have had from the performance has been incredible and we wanted to share it with you ahead of next month’s Edinburgh Fringe performances.

As part of her role as an Ambassador for DanceSyndrome, dancer Becky Rich invited the Mayor of Preston to come along to see the performance. After the show, the Mayor and Mayoress visited the dressing room to talk to the dancers. The Mayor gave a heartfelt speech that really meant a lot to our dancers:

Aside from this lovely feedback from the Mayor, our audience members were asked to tell us what they thought of this premiere performance. Here are some of their comments:

“This was a very moving piece. The tone of the dancers was especially impressive.”
